  • Story telling: In the heat of the night 2/2

    In the hunt for key scenes in movies, it was hard to make a decision for In the heat of the Night. In an earlier post I showed one scene somewhat one-third into the movie where Virgil Tibbs is sitting at a train station waiting for the train so he can leave the town of…

  • SL Art: Poetry of the human body

    I like to roam through the ever changing galleries of Second Life and sometimes I hit on a work or an artist I like to promote on this blog. As little as it does for them. There are actually more than I display here, many more even, but  because I sometimes have to balance other…

  • Movie rawr: Requiem for the American Dream

    It is hard to level criticism at a documentary that has the famous Noam Chomsky as spokesperson in it. Who am I to naysay a man who knows more, has experienced more, means more and has more written all over? But this, in a strange manner, works both ways. When a documentary is out to…

  • Sign of Life: Lab-coat fallacy

    Perhaps it already exist in one place or another.. but I am introducing a new fallacy called lab-coat fallacy. Lab-coat fallacy is created to me in disrespect for a person called John Morris Pendleton and actually in honor of Logicked who called him out for pretending to be a scientist on spurious credentials and wearing  a lab-coat…

  • Bauhaus museum

    A small and nice exhibition  about Bauhaus on Lea 2 (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA2/80/120/2007). Had some fun with Gray Child(the neko(cat human hybrid) in the picture) and a few lyrics of Massive Attack to which I was listening. Some of which had relevance to the exhibition. Bauhaus(1919-1933) didn’t last long as an independent art movement in Germany once…
